So, you decided to take the AP Exam - congratulations! Your assignment as we approach the AP Exam is to construct your own version of this year's exam. Here's what you will be doing...
Your exam should have the following:
A cover page with a name for your exam (along with the names of the members of your group)
80 Multiple Choice Questions (matching the percentage of questions that should come from that unit based on the Course Guide)
Check for spelling errors and grammatical problems / double check answers
Fill-out a Scantron key (see Mr. Freccia)
In charge of turning in a paper copy and a digital copy for their team
Scoring
Students will be graded on their own work depending on their role in the project (25 points)
It is advised that you "carbon copy" Mr. Freccia when sending your part to the "central organizer" in order to prove promptness
"Central organizer" deadlines need to be met, otherwise a deduction will occur for your portion
If a problem develops with a member of your group OR if if the work they turn-in requires extra effort for other members, the "central organizer" should notify Mr. Freccia ASAP
This is an EFFORT grade - you do what you are told (and do a quality job) you will get full credit
Your project is due on Wednesday, April 18th at the beginning of class
